You're out of touch. Humans have never been so technologically advanced, and science never so widespread. Science *has* already been stuck between the fetid bellies of beliefs of all kinds, yet it's finally emerging from those shackles, as those shackles try to tighten up. Atheism has doubled acr...

You are saying using the book to prove the book is sufficient to show Jesus was who he said he was. The fact is, no, that is not sufficient evidence. It's no different than characters in any messiah story foretelling another character's arrival and general deeds. Jesus didn't "sacrifice" anythin...

This is not atheists' most feared question; it is atheists' biggest eye-roller. Lack of religion is not another kind of faith. Why do theists not understand this brutally simple distinction?

If it's evidence you are looking for from us, you can start by taking a few classes in the sciences. You...

Water turned into wine on the spot is a miracle without evidence. Apes branching off and turning into man over very long periods of time is called evolution, for which much evidence has been gathered.

The two are not remotely comparable.

The answer is provided at your local high school or community college. Go get educated and stop acting like a child. You are not smart, clever, insightful, edgy, or original, and neither is your centuries-old belief.

LOL right, because the close minded person isn't the one spouting crap from a 2 millenia-old book or stories.

Ya, that was pretty disgusting. I wonder if any of the Xian sects in that town regularly burn books, like some in the south do. That mural was likely a recreation for the doc, but even if it was a 1st grader's scribblings, it goes to show that even parents' theistic egos are liable to get in the ...

What you just said is nonsensical and meaningless. There's evidence for something godlike? If you don't know what the something godlike is, how would you know it was godlike? And define supreme being. Technically, if space aliens exist and they can travel at the speed of light, they're certainly ...

@AbbieFMimi I found this the exact same way, and listened to the whole thing, rather than letting someone *tell* me what happened and accepting his edited version of events.

HJ is clueless. There are so many things that raise consciousness, that the church has fought. Not for a few years, not fo...

HJ's point on slavery, and the power of dissent versus church doctrine, is so ignorant it's nigh-on disrespectful. So many people in the church advocated against slavery, yet for 1850 years post-Jesus it persisted. We've made more progress in the last 300 years in destroying such an institution t...

Mogley52, spewing a few paragraphs of anti-intellectual garbage doesn't count as a refutation of any of the philosophical or scientific topics you claim to be addressing. Your arguments in each of these have been roundly dealt with by far more intelligent and curious people than you.

What would they sue him for? Telling the truth? Everything CH said in this piece I have heard from former Mormons families as well. The beauty of the last 200+ years is that we have a lot of documentation, and a lot of records. This stuff can be checked, and it seems you are not on solid footing ...

What CH said is non-controversial, it only seems that way because people are looking for the hook one way or the other. He stated what the Western reality is: If the woman wants to work instead of being a stay-at-home mother, she can. She shouldn't be forced to do one or the other. CH was implyin...

It's telling of who they are, to go racial a priori. They can't the post-racial mantle and act this way with regularity. If BO was a white Democrat with a "normal" name, disagreements, however insipid, would be about policy. But, because he is *half black* and his name isn't caucasian, you have t...

If CH is a talking head, what does that make you?

This is the "great" WLC's takedown of a very clear point made by RD? No wonder RD won't talk to this guy. WLC's implicit claim in this "rebuttal", whether he realizes it or not, is that RD is essentially a raving racist. I am not inclined to believe WLC is too stupid to not see that, so either he...

Neither is half the stuff we need the government to do, yet it still needs to be done. The Constitution is a living document, not a static one. If you want to return to the 1780s, please do it somewhere else.

If you think that was good, review the 5 segments cut from his encounter with Marvin Olasky. Type "Hitchens vs religion" in the search field to find them. Rarely has his contempt of religion and totalitarianism been more cutting, and incisive, and inquiry, enlightenment, and discovery been more s...

In this, Dembski shows himself to be an unthinking, credulous idiot. He literally asks CH why he would want to meet Shakespeare, or the thing that created Shakespeare. Later, he "disproves" CH's point vis a vis vicarious redemption and death by belting out tautological nonsense, to claps from the...
